Q Poll Shows Racism

The oft-repeated nonsense that these black athletes are disrespecting soldiers, the country or the flag is just more false propaganda, pushed by this president, to stoke that racism.

I have wondered for a very long time why these young men, who have such a large and visible platform, have not used it to address this, our nation's 400-year-old unhealed wound, which only seems to be opening wider and bleeding more profusely. Telling these men and the women of the WNBA that where and how they have chosen to demonstrate is not acceptable to white America is nothing more than saying "I don't want to know your opinion, nor do I care about it, just entertain me!"

Maybe the entire country should be strongly encouraged to watch the film "I Am Not Your Negro," based on the unfinished book by the late author James Baldwin.
